| Ayurveda Massage treats all kinds of Disease
In nature cure, diagnosis of disease is not important. It is believed that the cause of all diseases is the same, the accumulation of foreign matter in the body. In other systems of treatment the doctor tries to cure a disease, but in nature cure, it is not the disease itself  but the entire body of the patient, which is cured and is renewed. So in Nature cure, a doctor may diagnosize fasting, food(is considered medicine in Ayurveda) regime, daily routines and certain exercises to a certain patient. One way of curing the patient is Ayurvedic massage. It is said that, if you recieve Ayurvedic massage(abhyanaga) twice a month, you will be healthy.

Nature gives us the desire to massage all parts of our body.

This is an indication that Nature regards massage as a means to cure ailments.

The massage can include various techniques like circulatory work, acupressure, reflexology and others. This massage decreases neck, back and joint pain; relieves muscle spasms, cramps and soothes nerves. Special attention is paid to the body structure. Muscles that are chronically contracted can sometimes create areas of tension. Because the muscles are contracted, it is out of function. Fresh blood can not get in and the waste can not get out. This irritates the surrounding nerves, causing pain and tension. This therapy focuses on these tense areas to soften the muscle, restore normal circulation and flush the waste out.
